NVIDIA GeForce 436.02 WHQL driver - tech(hx) 05:49 PM CEST - Aug,20 2019
- Post a comment / read (6) NVIDIA has released a brand new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 436.02 WHQL driver improves performance by up to 23% in popular games. Furthermore, this Gamescom 2019 driver adds New Ultra-Low Latency, Integer Scaling and Image Sharpening. Going into more details, NVIDIA claims that most of the performance improvements come for 1080p and 1440p. Some of the games that see better performance with these new drivers are: Apex Legends, Battlefield V, Forza Horizon 4, Strange Brigade and World War Z. In addition, NVIDIA has introduced a new Ultra-Low Latency mode. If enabled, this feature would benefit games that are GPU bound with framerates hovering between 60 to 100, per Nvidia. It’s worth noting, however, that this mode can only be enabled for DX9 and DX11 titles as DX12 and Vulkan APIs give a game more control over the render queue.

FYI, The installer of these drivers appears to have a major bug that forces the installation of GeForce Experience without obtaining GPDR-compliant consent from the user so you cannot deselect GeForce Experience from the list of components in the Custom Install screen. TechPowerUp has a free utility that lets users take complete control over their NVIDIA graphics driver installation, called NVCleanstall. Using this software you may skip lot more optional components than what the NVIDIA Installer allows, such as Telemetry. Grab a beta version of NVCleanstall from here.

Or you can use TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker.

FYI their remote server that serves the update file is down right now.

Was not aware of NVCleanstall. Great tip, using it now. Screw "telemetry" spying. It's bad enough when Microsoft does it.

you are clueless. Most software collects telemetry even if they don't tell you. Even Linux distros like Ubuntu collects telemetry. All your words say to me and anyone else with a brain, is that you are clueless. :roll:

I really like how they suddenly came with such a revolutionary driver, which improves performance by almost 1/4 in fullHD out of the blue, wow. Clap clap nVidia, well played ...

So why exactly would I want to leave telemetry that I can now avoid easily enough to make the effort? I've done the W10Privacy and killed as much as I could, I've done the VPN thing to at least throw them off the scent, and now I can deny Nvidia some data too. Does that make me "telemetry" free? Almost certainly not but at least I do what I can, without resorting to Tails, just too much of a pain in my ass.
